Backlit Iceberg, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

The lagoon at the base of the Jokulsarlon Glacier was created by
the receding glacier starting around 1934-1935. At the time of this
image, the lagoon had grown to about 18 square kilometers in size and
contained many beautiful icebergs of all sizes, from house size to as
small as a fist. As the icebergs slowly move toward the ocean, they
constantly shift position, with changes each minute or so, making
for constantly changing light and compositions. The late afternoon that
this image was obtained had partial break in the clouds, so sunlight
shown through the thinner icebergs. This berg was in front of a larger
one whose side was in shadow, illuminated by the blue sky overhead.
This created the glowing iceberg on a dark blue background. Can you see the
face? The glowing iceberg looks like a sea otter on its back, with
glowing eyes, nose and mouth.

Other photographers at the time I was there seemed to only be using wide angle
lenses. This image illustrates compositional possibilities at other focal lengths.
